Organised jointly with the following organisations from Malaysia:
Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), Ministry of Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government and Local Government Valuer Society
Local governance includes the diverse objectives of vibrant, living, working, and environmentally preserved self-governing communities. Good local governance is not just about providing a range of local services but also about preserving the life and liberty of residents, creating space for democratic participation and civic dialogue, supporting market-led and environmentally sustainable local development, and facilitating outcomes that enrich the quality of life of residents.
Boadway and Shah (2009), Fiscal Federalism, CUP
Academics and practitioners from Scotland and Malaysia will discuss their research and practical experience in the area of local governance with an interest in learning from each other.
